Hi. Within a loop, I would like for the macro to find the text "On Hand"
within a cell on a given row. If the text exists anywhere in the cell, I
would like to delete the row.

What command should I use? I know that if I wanted to find this in the
left
or right of the string I would use the LEFT or RIGHT function, but I don't
know how to have it search anywhere in the string. Thanks!
